Is it better to burn out, or to fade away?

Last week we, the Mapbuilder PSC, have decided to gracefully terminate Mapbuilder. We found that other webmapping projects (notably OpenLayers) had passed us in userbase, developbase and finally also in features. We decided that the answer of the ageold question is to burn out. We’ve sent out an announcement that we have reached the end of life of Mapbuilder. It is a sad day…

Dark clouds are gathering

Dark skies are looming over me

But in general I think this is a good thing and OpenLayers will grow even faster, it is a great package after all.
